Made it this far, so far I ve done everything you have so far, Iโm really impressed with this
looks like Thailand is nice to travel…
I was planning on doing all of this too, when I retired, but my health took a turn for the worst and I am stuck in America because of it, I loved being in Asian when I was a Marine in 1976-77. I can imagine that things over there have change a lot. Keep your health it is the most important thing you will have in your life.
Hi Chad.. Sawadee Khrap from Hatyai.. I was wondering why you never encounter snakes on the road while you are driving.. Whenever I tour through Thailand on a “motorcycle” on your favourite back roads I get to see at least two or three snakes a day.. And btw… you forgot to take off your shoes when you bought that water bottle..I think now you are haunted ๐
Nong Khai it’s also on the Mekong River across from Laos. It is right above Udon Thani. Nong Khai is where the friendship bridge takes you across Laos. The friendship bridge is the closest bridge to the Thai embassy in Laos. That is the where you go to do a Visa run. There is an international bus that goes to Laos from Udon Thani or Khon Kaen. the international bus will wait for you at the border to get your visa stamp either way. It will take you to the bus station on the Laos side. The bus station is walking distance from the Thai embassy in Laos I took the bus from Chiang Mai to Khon Kaen. That is when I caught the vibe of Khon Kaen.
You can probably get a better rate on the motorbike rental if you rent it by the month and then just turn it in early. in Chiang Mai you can usually rent a motorbike for 3,000 Baht per month.
Boom ๐ฅ watching a 20 minute vid created by you, no problem. Cracked open an ice cold Modelo Especial and enjoyed the ride/sunset. ๐ป
We don’t care if you don’t get your lunch, we want our content.
Lol, jk
That view at the end – worth the whole trip – amazing adventure – appreciate your hard work!!
Great videos man! Keep them coming
Welcome to episode 10 of chad’s journey to find the perfect ladyboy
Keep it up love the videos
Yep, I made it to the end. I live on the edge of BKK where as you probably know there are not too many places to sit and have a beer right now. Seeing your view whilst having a beer was quite cool! Done a lot of touring in North Thailand (on a triumph) and try to go somewhere at least 3 or 4 times each year. Getting the itch right now….just got to make some time. Love your stuff, thanks for making the effort.
I made it! Sunset looked rad ๐ค๐ฝ
I really like these longer vids. They keep my interest. You’ve been renting some pretty sweet rooms too
Enjoyed it 15 to 20 minutes are good.
Yeah i watched it all . The woman at the shop where you got water wondered who the hell are you talking to . You may have a slow motorbike but you ride flat out and it gives me the OH SHIT on some of the crappy roads . Stay upright ๐
Man you are killing it , i just got a tripod yesterday from amazon and i have a backpack withshoulder straps and will try your way of filming things .
I loved the “this is a great road” to the “this is a shit road” moment. It’s totally 2020 lol. Great video bro.
what kind of beers are common in Thailand? Lager, ales, etc?
Yup. Watched the video all the way to the end. Nice sunset.
4:25 look at the lady in the background. ๐คฃ
love your channel. keep up the great work. Hope I get to meet you when I can make it back to thailand
lol epic road to sh*t road, BAM! Nice edit:)
Great spot for a beer mate
6:53 Haha555
You pronounced “porn” correctly:)
“Thailand, NO COVID.”
Love this video series and the Golden Triangle one. You have inspired my buddy and me to start planning a similar adventure starting in Chiang Mai and heading up to the Golden Triangle by way of various other places. Still looking for a quality Thai sword and I heard they can be found in the north.
Chad, good sensible advice on riding a small bike/scooter when touring the remote smaller provinces. Much appreciated. Nice view by the Mekong (the end footage) I must say.
Always watch the whole vid.. never know what you’re going to get into next. lol
Love ur videos! I want to visit Thailand but one of my only worryโs is food poisoning and getting robbed bc Iโm a foreigner
Last year i started from malaysia kuala lumpur to mae hong song chaing mai and bangkok…next year going to cambodia from malaysia
Another cool video. I enjoy the longer format. Great work ๐
Porn is pornounce differently in Thailand and laos
I made it that far where is my like validate me lol just kidding love the videos bro keep them coming be safe
Great series, love it ๐
Great content. Keep it up!
the sunset at the end was stunning, definitely liked the Mekong river view as well
I have that tripod and do the same at first but I use zip ties now on a go pro camera clip on my backpack
love the videos. Love learning about Thailand and the very cool cars/trucks you film. Cant wait to see more!!
thanks for the fun
“The faster you’re going, the more concentrated you are on riding your bike & you’re missing everything around you”. This is a good one, you’re so damn true, love this quote. Slow down & see those little things around you!
I’ve really been enjoying this series so I’ve decided to subscribe. I plan on digging into your archives and watching the golden triangle riding tour you mentioned. Thank you.
I really dig the longer videos
It’s awesome to watch someone on YT that has their priorities right. I’m so glad I found you channel man!
My kind of a town , where every corner is unpredictable .
I watch all of your videos. Damn I like it!
cheers
Chad Beep all hopped up on M150’s 555
Don’t think I didn’t notice.
Surprised to see your not drinking Chang classic lager on ice.. its a Isaan staple.
Actually, The Motorbike Footage is Excellent! Boom.๐ฅ
Hi Chad..where do you park your bike when your walking around? Is it safe to leave the bike for hours and over nite?
I watch your daily vlog
Nice fun trip ! Sunset was great and quiet !
An awesome 20mins video. I think the question that no one has ever asked is, did you obtain some special travel insurance or an addition to your existing insurance, for these travels? Are they necessary, optional or good to have?
20 is plenty! Love your natural delivery and dry humour. You are definitely smashing this YouTube blogging malarkey. So glad to be along for the ride ๐ I spent some time in Isaan, and had to travel up and down a fairly busy country road every day on a motorbike (moped), after a few days I went into a motorbike shop and bought the biggest bike they had, a CBR300R, they were over the moon, I suspect they still speak of it now, or maybe they even wrote a song. Bouncing along that road dodging pot holes and been buzzed by trucks, pickups and 4x4s was like Russian roulette, the only option was slow down/brake, I needed more, at least with the 300 I could speed up and avoid danger, or possibly accelerate into oblivion ๐
Enjoy the beer brother , amazing keep ridding into the sunset โ๏ธ
My suggestion is you can also buy the insurance (accident) for maybe 2 weeks from 7-11 , just in case .. stay safe mate, nice video
Hi, You still here in Thailand. very lucky to touch a local part, it nice for you and me too.
made it to the end! Nice time lapse on the sunset.
Chad another great one ….no failures my friend ..l am impressed at the quality of your videos ….l had assumed you had some elaborate and professional set up …..but just an iphone ….outstanding ….Having said that there is nothing amature about your cinematography ………..the editing justifies that …l have been living in Thailand for about 3 years and l have seen more on your tours than l have done myself and loving every one ..Keep up the good work ….slow down on that bike …..stay safe …chz dd
GOD DAMN! 80K + SUBS. IM HERE SINCE 5K. GOOD JOB CHAD.
Iโm Jelly missing Thailand mok mok
What is your fav Thai beer? I see you drinking Singha often.
Your videos are great! I did a similar tour in the days before YouTube (2002) these videos are bringing back great memories.
THANKS MAN!! Now my wife wants 20 minutes an episode out of me!!!๐ค๐ญ๐๐โ
I think they are not gonna have any walking street for one more month, since the curfew and partial lockdown law are still in place
That cold beer with a beautiful sunset by Mekong river, good going Chad..
๐ค๐ป๐ป๐จ๐ฆ
always look forward to your issan daily video, great content, safe ride to the rest of your journey!
HEY BRO. YOU SHOULD COLLAB WITH ANGIE MEAD KING. SHES ALSO A YOUTUBER BUT SHES FROM THE PHILIPPINES.
Loving the long videos ๐๐
Another great video, a fantastic sunset to end ๐ป๐
Good on you Chad following my suggestion to visit Chiang Khan. For me as a bike ride, the roads to and from Chiang Khan are awesome. If I’d make a suggestion just keep on trucking back to Nong Khai then follow the Mekong as far as you like. People on the River are happy to give. Proud Mary. Enjoy be safe riding.
Great place for a beer, have a look at Ban Phue historical parkm good ride and worth a look
Any plans for entering Laos? Iโm curious what kind of car culture they have
To pronounce Ban, which is village, Ban is pronounced BARN. In Thai, on most occasions but not all, the โaโ sounds like โarโ . As with Chiang Khan, it is pronounced as if spelt like Chee-arn karn. Hope this helps. Also, motor bikes in Thailand are actually called motor sci and the times are called Sam Law as I explained another video, Sam meaning 3 and law meaning wheel. Hey bud, donโt know if youโre still there, but just out of town, still on the Mekong River is a market and good location to dine, have a beer and watch the fishermen, ask around
Dude! Have an awesome time!
Thai word for fill is Them, just say them kab, As in Fill my bike tank
This series just keeps getting better and better.
20 mins no problem. Nice video, cheers dude.
lmao once you explained your camera setting on the bike I immediately got why that old lady was looking at you frightened. Who wouldn’t be confused living in a small country side village seeing a dude having a camera pod on his chest riding a bike into her entry way? Must be one of the more unusual sight she’s had in her life.
I guess walking streets will look the same in all parts of the country. Thailand didn’t reopen walking street’s and nightlife till end of june.
great spot for the sunset beer
Twenty mins is the sweet spot
I do not know why some of the girls here like ‘A HAPPY ENDING VIDEO WITH: ๐ฅ A BEER, AND SUNSET”
In the middle of nowhere ;–) Well, it’s just youtube lol…..Nice video friend, we supporting you because
you need money to buy more beers lol Stay safe. “cheers”
He has no time to ride with a girl, no money for honey lol ๐๐๐๐โฃ๐๐โค๐งก๐๐๐๐
Always watch the full videos never know what you might miss.. keep up the good Vibes
Maybe it was to early for walking street , don’t they go till early am ?
you still like all my stupid ass comments. For example this comment. It has no fucking importance what so ever. I am just rambling on killing time before I can go home from work.
Do a tour on a pushbike Chad? Lol
what is that brown bottle with the yellow label everyone is drinking?
Yep made it ro the end , no problem to look 20 min.
No you can’t ride big bikes chadd even the scooter you’re riding like a power ranger..
every shop got tube n tyre if get blowout with large bike you be lucky if had one small local sized commuting scooters do just fine I took Lambretta to Yunnan from chiang khon
Awesome! Wish i was able to go there! damned, “this current situation”
Good video. You see any sexy ladies ๐
No ice with the beer
Thank you for showing us around Thailand .
In 2013 I rode up along the Thailand / Myanmar ridge.ย
I highly recommend it it’s very high and has spectacular views. You will see groups of friendly but armed cops probably looking for smugglers.
Brilliant windy roads too.
Man love these videos.
Love Chang Khan.i live between udon thani and loei and me and the wife go there for romantic weekends every few months.
